This little ru-vid.comUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.

@weerawat2526 Год назад

I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle ru-vid.comUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

@WabiSabE 2 года назад

Hey Dude! Really enjoyed the video! Even though your attempted solution was creative, I would try to revisit your bath plumbing to avoid any kink in the plumbing line. The metal jacketed hose in the faucet has a rubber inner-hose. If it is kinked, stretched too much or twisted, it can weaken the inner rubber hose. Each time water goes through that tight area, it creates a lot of pressure and the pipe flexes. This is like bending a garden hose back and forth constantly in one area. Over time it will weaken the integrity of the hose and at some point could fail. A possible simple fix is to build a little pedestal for the faucet to sit on. This will give you more space to avoid kinks and no need to bust up more concrete to fix. Hope this helps, all the best! :)

Awesome project!! Love the way you just get stuck into the job and make it look so easy. Removing all that concrete around the piping can be daunting if you don't know what you are doing.

@donavanmcelroy6263 2 года назад

Loved the project! Your work is absolutely phenomenal!! 👍👍

@xungngo Год назад

It's beautiful! Btw, @ 16:50 I totally understand that frustration. I planned ahead and was able to see that the waterline that came with the faucet comes down 4-5 inches and CANNOT be retracted upward. When I saw that I banded my head on this for awhile before realizing that I just needed to allow my waterlines to go up and down. Just needed to tie strings/wires to prevent it from dropping and not pull it back up.

curious if you tested the plumbing lines before re-setting the concrete? would be awesome to see that part as well.

@stevebowser7248 2 года назад

Cost breakdown makes your work just superior. It always looks great.....but I like your footing in reality on the cost. Hats off to you for truly 'keeping it real'. That base of that faucet is brutal! Would be great on a second floor.....with access from below. I wonder if sleeving water lines to j box in the wall would be the way to do it next time. Make the coupling, pull extension lines into a wall j box as you set the faucet, then connect in the j box in the wall. Very cool that you conveyed the challenge of it.

@WickedWayz81 2 года назад

I love your videos, and have learned a lot more. Usually, I like you overall idea, but I think you went in two different directions. Tub and faucet fit in with the existing bathroom, and new tile and say clean, modern. New window trim says old school, Victorian, classy, but clashes with everything else in my opinion. Maybe going with a look in between the old window trim and new would have been better. Just my opinion that I thought I'd share. At the end of the day, you and your family own it, and live in it. So it's your choice of what it looks like.

@anjannettel3941 Год назад

Searching for 2 DAYS for a guide video as I am DOING THIS SAME THING already ripped out jacuzzi tub~ I'm going from right handed to center drain on concrete slab... if I was not so picky I should have gotten a square freestanding tub and use da flat P trap with flexible pipe.. but no had to try and be ooohhh sooo fancy, atleast now I have some sort of guidance!! WISH ME LUCK or see if I trade in the fancy tub for a freestanding square tub.

@thejericho 2 года назад

hey man, you should add silicone in-between the tile floor and the boards surrounding it, so that when water spills on the floor, or if you wash the floor, it won't seep underneath the boards

For grout have you tried Power Grout by TEC? The grout drys in about 4 hours and is ready to be mopped and walked on. We use it in Hotels and Casino, so that down time is low for high traffic areas. Highly recommend it. 👌

@@MrBuildit I just dealt with this exact issue with my bathroom that’s slab on grade. For rough in, we ran pex inside insulation from the manifold to the tub faucet but didn’t connect the pex to the manifold in the wall until we got it flush at the tub faucet. Then we cut the pex and connected it to the manifold and it was the right length without causing those kinks that the faucet trim covered

@tomshingler1719 2 года назад

A great amount of work and looks great! I would like to point out a couple of things. Fiberglass tape always does a better job than paper seam tape. Tried it once never went back to a paper one. The only place I would approve paper seam tape is the corners. Secondly, waterproofing was not done. Just a small bucket of waterproofing mass would have cost near to nothing and protected your wooden piping frame and foundation. Keep up your projects mate. Greetings from another side of the pond :)

@BittyVids 2 года назад

Paper tape is stronger in more directions. It doesn’t stretch and rack and creates less cracking over time. Mesh tape is good for small repairs.
